RE: variation on the same subject.

JoAnne,
As you so aptly point out, AMSAT participation includes MANY things.
Participating in QSOs on the birds is but one. Many of our hardest working
members, seldom get on the bird and chat. Remember everyone, there are
Journals to be written and published, code to be written and de-bugged,
manuals to be written, money to be counted and spent, equipment to be
designed and built, conferences to be planned, and on and on goes the list.
The AMSAT experience allows you to get involved in the branches of Amateur
Satellite that appeal to YOU. That is the beauty of it all!! There is no one
measure of your effectiveness, and qualification within AMSAT... Let's hope
there never is.

This past weekend was a 4 day holiday weekend for me. Its time
to get the July/August AMSAT Journal ready for publication on
schedule.
My satellite project at http://home.earthlink.net/~maenpaa/
was put on-hold so I could get the Journal out on time. If
you prefer I'll continue to work on my dish next time and you'll
get your next Journal .... well, whenever I get around to it.
Some guys need a dose of reality of what goes on behind the
scenes.
